Award-winning journalist David Neiwert — who been following the rise of these extremist groups since the late 1970s, when he was a young reporter in Idaho — explores how the movement was built over decades, how it was set aflame by Donald Trump and his cohorts, and how it will continue to attack American democracy for the foreseeable future. Neiwert especially studies how the Pacific Northwest has long been a breeding ground of extremist violence, from the time when neo-nazis migrated to the area from southern California in the 1970s, through the great battles in Portland and Seattle and neighboring towns over the last decade. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Laying out how these groups organize their terroristic violence and attacks on democratic institutions at every level—including local, state, and federal targets—Neiwert details what their strategies and plans look like for the foreseeable future.","brand":"Melville House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44063233245439,"sku":"9781685890360","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781685890360_s600x595.jpg?v=1775586253","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781685890360","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
